WSU is aligning its biotech research activities to meet the state’s priorities, the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee was told during a work session in Olympia last week.

You can view video of the presentation below, featuring presentations by Jim Moyer, Associate Dean of Research at WSU’s College of Agriculture, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences, and Anson Fatland, WSU’s Associate Vice President of Economic Development and External Affairs.

Moyer discussed WSU’s involvement in developing patented technology on various plant varieties, pest control methods, bio fuels and waste treatment. Fatland explained how the university works to commercialize innovations developed in the labs.
